NEW BRUNSWICK — An Edison man was charged today with the murder of a 21-year-old woman and wounding of a 28-year-old man in New Brunswick last month, Middlesex County Prosecutor Bruce Kaplan announced.

Darryll Underwood, 19, was charged with fatally shooting Jessica Torres, 21, of North Brunswick and the attempted murder of the 28-year-old man, whose identity Kaplan said is being withheld, on Oct. 6, as they stood outside the Progressive Masonic Temple on Hale Street.

Kaplan said investigators determined Underwood had targeted the 28-year-old male, identified as an acquaintance of Torres, who was taken to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in the city for treatment of multiple gunshot wounds.

The prosecutor said Underwood was served with the murder complaint at the Middlesex County jail where he has been held since Oct. 16, 2012, on charges of shooting and wounding a 21-year-old New Brunswick man in an unrelated incident on Easton Avenue in New Brunswick on Sept. 22, 2012.
